Prince Harry told a Melbourne audience on Thursday that he had spent years feeling 'lost, betrayed or completely powerless' and had once wanted to abandon his royal role as he delivered a starkly personal keynote speech during a four-day tour of Australia.
After days of largely upbeat coverage of Prince Harry and Meghan's visit, which included school events and meetings with charities, the InterEdge Summit in Melbourne formed the more formal part of the trip, a leadership conference on 'psychosocial safety and human connection in the workplace.' Instead, attendees who paid up to £1,250 for platinum access heard the king's younger son strip back the public façade that has followed him since childhood and speak in detail about the toll of grief.
